1. Shannon P.

“We've transitioned from using dog daycare to having Shannon drop by to give some attention to our yorkie mix while we're away at work. We were alittle nervous about making the shift but we could tell our dog really hated going to daycare so we wanted to try. Shannon has made it SO easy. We've been using her 3x a week for a few months now. She is fantastic! She is patient with our dog, and meets him where he is at (which can be hard, given that some days he wants to go out, and other days he is only interested in napping or play time!). I'm so glad we found someone who is trustworthy, reliable, and flexible. If you're looking for help, stop looking - and book Shannon now!”

3. Kaylee O.

“Kaylee was great! She took care of our 2 cats and gave them lots of love! We are so happy and they loved her!”


4. Cathy W.

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”


5. Tracy S.

“Tracy is the best! She has been watching Coco for us for a while now and is always on time, cleans up any messes, and gives our baby a friend in the afternoon! I couldn’t recommend her enough.”


6. Laura B.

“Laura is great! She did drop-in visits for our pups and made sure they had a potty break and plenty of time to stretch their legs and play, and took lots of pictures for us. She is super responsive and attentive to all our dogs’ specific needs. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


7. Mia C.

“Mia loves animals, and they know.. Mine were immediately happy when she stopped in to meet them. Her drop ins were great, she was very communicative and timely. She's my go to for pet care and I highly recommend her. Thank you Mia.!”


8. Jennifer M.
“Jen is a dedicated and compassionate individual who genuinely cares about the well-being of pets. Her experience in providing attentive care ensures that each animal feels safe and loved. Jen's exceptional customer service skills shine through in her prompt communication and willingness to accommodate specific needs, making her an awesome human being to trust with any pet. Her passion for animals and commitment to their happiness set her apart.”


9. Rebeckah D.

“Rebeckah is the sweetest pet sitter I have ever met! She made my first time using Rover so wonderful, and I look forward to the next time my kitties can have a play date with her. She was very attentive towards any special needs/care that our pets need. One of my boys is usually very afraid towards humans, but it seemed otherwise with the photos I got from Rebeckah :)”


10. Marta S.
“Same name/different person. If you want someone that will not give your pet fear, Marta is the one. She is very personable and caring. She brings such joy to everyone especially the fur babies. My Oliver loves her endlessly for her cuddles, pets and attention!”


11. Patricia F.

“Patti is the best! She is the only person outside of our family that watches our dog. She is great with instructions & always shows our dog lots of love! Would recommend!”


12. Morgan F.
“Morgan is a very friendly and gentle care giver for our dogs. She is always on time and very patient. I also like that she has tones of experiences in the animal hospital. I’m looking forward to work with Morgan long term and will not hesitate to recommend her.”


13. Leanne R.
“TRUST Leanne, your fur baby will be in the BEST of hands! I have known Leanne for over 20 years of being close friends, but she also lives in the same neighborhood as well. Leanne is a huge animal lover and being around them gives her so much joy and peace. I see how much she loves her own doggies and hamster and takes exceptional care of them. She lives through her pets. Leanne is also a very active person; so being with your dog and outdoor in the fresh air, she will be a happy camper. I have a senior large dog (you wouldn't know it) and a bunny (that is now deceased) that she used to care for when my family and I would take vacations. We knew that our fur babies would be in the ultimate loving care of Leanne. She would be so kind to walk my dog and fill in the mama role while I wasn't there and send me pictures and updates to rest assure they were all happy and healthy. She is more than my friend, she is family. I trust with my dog and now young cat if I ever needed her help again. Not only does Leanne not just love my pets, she loves my children and spoils them with thoughtful gifts. I am very grateful for Leanne! I know when you choose Leanne, you won't be disappointed. She is responsible, reliable, dedicated to her passions, and you will be relieved knowing that your pet is in her care. Book her today!”


14. Nataliia Z.

“Natalia did an excellent job looking after my cat Shweta while I was gone on vacation for Labor day weekend! Shweta became quite acclimated with Natalia and I look forward to booking her again for Shweta in the future! Highly recommend!”


15. Michelle M.

“Michelle M. is awesome! She was great with our English Mastiffs, managed to help us bathe them despite their hyped-up state. She's very personable and easy to relate to as well. We look forward to having her housesit for us in the future. Thanks, Michelle!”


16. Sarah E.

“Sarah was outstanding. We needed to travel and it was the first time Ben and Chloe would be without us for a significant duration. She was punctual, conducted herself with professionalism, and interacted wonderfully with them. We're sincerely thankful and we wholeheartedly endorse her for others in need of her services.”




17. Brittany W.


“Brittany is an amazing care taker. Her attention to details and her compassion for animals is top notch. Thank you for every thing you did to care for our senior girl. We couldn’t have gone on vacation with our your support. Thank you soooooo much.”


18. Lindsay & Kurtis H.
“Lindsay has been so great with my dogs! She truly loves and cares for my pets, giving them a lot of attention and care as if they were her own. She is great about taking them for walks as well.”


19. Jessica C.

“Jessica was wonderful! Very communicative and sent pictures of our furry friend while we were away. Will absolutely reach out to her in the future.”


20. Eileen P.

“This was my first time using a Rover care giver locally. I've done it in other towns, with success, but have been unable to find someone reliable, with an open schedule. Eileen was able to meet for a "meet and greet" on a few hour's notice, but was able to commit to a next day booking. 3 in my home visits/walks with pictures at each visit and plenty of feedback. She was friendly and nice and Mud, my 65 lb Pit Bull took to her immediately. I'm happy to have come across Eileen and will book her again as the needs present themselves. Thank you, Eileen! You were great!”
